Milk Money is a 1994 American comedy-drama film written and directed by Richard Schenkman. The movie tells the story of three young boys, Teddy (Chad Low Spartain), Dave (Kristen Davison), and Mike (Jamey Sheridan), who are desperate to get their hands on some cash. One day, they come up with a plan to pool their money together and hire V (Melinda Dillon), a kind-hearted prostitute, to strip for them. Initially, the boys are thrilled with the idea, but things take an unexpected turn when V agrees to drive them home to the suburbs after the performance. However, her car breaks down on the side of the road, leaving the group stranded. As they wait for help to arrive, the boys begin to open up to V about their lives and struggles at home. They reveal their concerns about growing up too quickly and the pressure they face from their parents to succeed. V, who has experienced her own share of hardships, listens attentively and offers words of wisdom and encouragement. As the night wears on, the group develops a strong bond, and V becomes more than just a stripper to them – she's a mentor, a confidante, and a friend. The boys learn valuable lessons about the importance of empathy, compassion, and understanding, and they begin to see the world in a different light. As the sun rises the next morning, V is forced to confront her own demons and make some tough decisions about her life. Meanwhile, the boys are left to process their newfound appreciation for the complexities of adulthood and the value of human connection. Milk Money explores themes of innocence, vulnerability, and the blurred lines between childhood and adulthood. With its poignant portrayal of complex relationships and its thought-provoking exploration of societal norms, the film has become a cult classic and a staple of 1990s coming-of-age cinema.
